Arts in the City is back with another FREE, family-friendly creative experience and this time, we’re putting Albany on a T-shirt! 👕🎨

Join us Wednesday, August 19 at 5:30 PM at Circus & Tulip City Creative for Print Albany, a hands-on T-shirt printing experience with Circus, a community print shop located right in Albany’s Arbor Hill neighborhood. Circus & Tulip City Creative is opening its doors for an evening of creativity, giving you a chance to get hands-on with the screen-printing process and see how art goes from an idea to something you can actually wear.

Bring your own shirt and print a design featuring artwork by Albany artist Delphi (). No experience needed, just BYOS: Bring Your Own (blank) Shirt! We’ll bring the ink, the screens and everything you need to leave with your own wearable piece of Albany art. This event is free to attend and suitable for all ages!

📍 Circus | 46 N. Swan St., Albany
💚 FREE + Family Friendly

Presented as part of the City of Albany’s Arts in the City series, with support from CDPHP and ParkAlbany.
